    Thanks I did
    check out several websites. I bought hats from tlc on the bc website and from Hats w/ Heart. My daughter got me a couple of hats from Heavenly Hats too. I also got a beautiful tote from The Lydia Project that Heatherbelle talked about. Thanks so much for all of you telling us about these websites.

    Hats vs. wigs or both?
    I found this site the other day:
    www.hatsforyou.com

    I don't start chemo for a few weeks, and am on the fence about getting a wig. I don't think I'm going to. What have others done? How long did it take to get enough hair back that you felt comfortable with your head uncovered in public again?

    My absolute favorite
    http://www.titillatingturbans.com/

    I bought one of these turbans and sent a picture of me modeling one (along with some other hats and scarves) to my daughter in law. Turns out the knows the woman who designed them. Small world. My DIL gifted me 2 more turbans, so now I have 3. They are absolutely beautiful. What I like about them is how versatile they are and how they've got some fullness around the top, not flat like so many scarves. Take a look at them and enjoy.

If you are a woman or girl experiencing a loss or thinning of hair as a result of illness or treatment, they will send you a scarf in the pattern and color of your choosing. Free. Click on the "Good Wishes" logo in the upper right hand corner of the page for more information.

    OrgSites.com Wiggs for Love is a organization in memory of Mary (Spagnoli) Cron who lost her battle with breast cancer. Her family and friends have formed Wigs for Love, enabling breast cancer patients who have lost their hair due to chemo or radiation to receive a wig at no charge to them.

    TheRainbowShop.com If you're looking for a headwrap with a tie dye look, this is good option. 100% cotton and several style options.

    al-muminat.com Square cotton scarves. Small selection but good prices.

    StarScarves.com 42"x42" square. Small selection good prices.

    RadWrapz.com Solid color head wraps. only a hand full to choose from but cheap. Buy two, get one free.

    CowboyWildRags.com Generous size, square, silk scarves. Like most silk fabric, they are moderately expensive.
